Magliocco: Calabria\u2019s Native Grape Between Natural Viticulture and Tradition<\/h1>\n
\n

History of Calabrian Magliocco<\/h2>\n

Magliocco<\/strong>, also known as \u201cBlack Gaglioppo\u201d, is an ancient native Calabrian grape<\/strong> with origins dating back to 7th century BC Greek cultivation. Its name derives from the dialect word \u201cmajuricu\u201d (major), referencing its impressive compact clusters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Rediscovered in the 1990s after periods of neglect, it now stars in Calabrian natural winemaking<\/strong>, with vintners preserving historic alberello-trained vines<\/strong> on clay-rich hillside soils.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
